<p>Originally published in 1887, then revised in 1898, this biography of Patrick Henry is being reprinted to re-introduce this staunch defender of liberty and state's rights to a new generation of Americans -indeed a generation of Americans much in need of hearing the echo of the words, "...give me liberty, or give me death."</p><p>Patrick Henry was truly an American patriot. As the first governor of Virginia, he will forever hold a place in the American spirit. It is appropriate that this famous leader never held a national public office (though had many opportunities), for he was an "anti-federalist," one who feared the federal system would become <em>too powerful&nbsp;</em>for <em>our own good</em>.</p><p>If Patrick Henry could speak today, he might be shouting from every mountaintop, "I told you so!"</p><p>Dispensational Publishing House is pleased to present this timeless piece of history. Perfect for students and history buffs, or those who are concerned about the power-grab that is often seen in national politics.</p><p>Patrick Henry's life is covered from his earliest years to his last days in a thorough, readable, and enlightening book. Though the words were written over 125 years ago, and the man had finished his living 225 years ago (with a witness to his Savior in his dying breaths), this man and these words are a man for our time.</p>
